TOPIC OF THE DAY

Prithvi Missile
The Prithvi missile (from Sanskrit pṛthvī "Earth") is the short range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by India under the IGMDP. The Prithvi was India's first indigenously developed ballistic missile. Development of the Prithvi began in 1983, and it was first tested fired on February 25, 1988. It has a range of up to 150 to 300 km with variants for land and sea/subsurface roles (Dhanush (Bow)) targeting surface targets. The Prithvi is said to have its propulsion technology derived from the Soviet SA-2 surface-to-air missile. Variants make use of either liquid or solid propellants or both. Developed as a battlefield missile, it could carry a nuclear warhead in its role as a tactical nuclear weapon. Some versions have already been handed over to the Indian Army Missile Group for deployment.
